Lukas Mergele @lukasmergele.bsky.social · 02/02/20262/ On January 1, 2024, Switzerland eliminated all tariffs on industrial products. The goal: lower prices for consumers and reduced red tape for businesses. Industrial products = all non-agricultural goods. Tariffs were mostly levied on consumer goods, so households should have something to gain. 100
